Chapter 7

Continue to beg for recommendations, clicks, and favorites, I need your support! My performance is poor, I need comfort and motivation!

Zhang Aobo's reaction was completely within Su Hongwen's expectations. The so-called border support program involves working in a village-level health clinic in remote mountainous areas for two years, with a monthly salary of 400 yuan. After two years, if you have connections and channels, you might be assigned to work in a hospital, at the very least, a town-level health center!

But would medical students with connections and resources go to support the border? Probably not, as their families would have already found them jobs in hospitals after graduation. The border areas are the poorest regions in China, and the hardships there are beyond what ordinary people can imagine. There might be no cell phone signal, no place to shower, and the food would definitely not be good. You might not see any meat for months!

In this era, even if a medical student's family is poor, they are not so poor that they can't afford a bit of meat. Who would be willing to go to remote mountainous areas to endure such hardships?

Therefore, the border support program usually fails to recruit enough people each year. Few are willing to go unless it's a program where the state guarantees a job placement after two years. However, such programs are already taken by others. Someone like Su Hongwen, who has no connections, can't get a guaranteed placement. Therefore, he can only go to the most remote and least promising areas!

When Zhang Aobo heard this, he thought Su Hongwen had gone crazy. He jumped off the bed and touched Su Hongwen's forehead, saying, "Are you crazy? Border support? What a joke! You'll just be suffering for two years, and you'll still have to find a job on your own when you come back!"

Su Hongwen took off his glasses and wiped them with the bedsheet, then said, "I know all of this, but if I don't go to support the border, how can I take the medical practitioner qualification exam? Without that, I can't be a doctor!"

Zhang Aobo sat down on his bed and laughed bitterly, "Fourth, be realistic, okay? Even if you go to support the border and a hospital accepts you and gives you a certificate to qualify for the exam, the place you go will be desolate. There won't be many patients. Without patients, how can you gain experience? In two years, you won't learn anything. Even if you have a medical practitioner qualification certificate when you come back, which hospital would want you? You won't know anything. Being a doctor is not just about having a certificate; you need experience. Without experience, even small private hospitals won't hire you!"

Zhang Aobo seemed a bit thirsty, so he picked up his water cup from the floor, took a sip, and continued, "Even if a small private hospital is willing to hire you, how much money can you earn there? If you can't earn money, will you still get married? Will you just spend your whole life in such a small hospital? Fourth, be realistic. Let's go job hunting tomorrow. Beijing is indeed hard to survive in, but there are more opportunities here. I believe that as long as we work hard, we can stand our ground here, and we might even get rich!"

Su Hongwen naturally knew what Zhang Aobo was saying. Even if he gets a medical practitioner qualification certificate after two years of border support, without practical experience, it would still be hard to find a job. Working in a small private hospital is also very unstable. Many bosses of such hospitals run away after making some money. The claims they make about treating various diseases are all lies. If patients see that they spent money but didn't get better, they might cause trouble. At that time, the doctors working there would suffer, as the bosses would have already run away with the money. Where could you find them?

However, Su Hongwen now has the medical rescue ship from the Zhiyuan Star. As long as he wakes up and learns from Sel, he is sure to learn a lot. He believes that with this spaceship, he can definitely stand out and become the best doctor. Therefore, practical experience is not a problem for him. His current issue is to obtain a certificate from a hospital and then take the medical practitioner qualification exam. This is the key to getting a job as a doctor!

Although Su Hongwen and Zhang Aobo have a good relationship, Su Hongwen doesn't want to reveal the secret of the spaceship. He can only say, "Leader, I know all of this, but I'm not willing to give up. I really want to be a doctor, so please don't try to persuade me. You should focus on your life in Beijing. If I can't find a job in a hospital after two years, I'll come back to you. At that time, you must help me out!"

Zhang Aobo was a bit depressed after saying so much, but Su Hongwen still insisted on going. He really didn't want to see Su Hongwen waste his time on border support. With these thoughts, Zhang Aobo tried to persuade Su Hongwen again, but Su Hongwen was determined to go. Zhang Aobo had no choice but to lie down and sleep. He still had to go to a job fair the next day!

The night passed without incident. When Su Hongwen woke up, he found that Zhang Aobo had already left. He left a note for Su Hongwen, still trying to persuade him not to go to support the border. Su Hongwen knew that Zhang Aobo meant well, but he had to take this path, so he could only disappoint him!

Today is the last day to sign up for border support, but the registration location is not in Beijing, but at Su Hongwen's school. Su Hongwen and Zhang Aobo are from the same school, a medical college in a neighboring province. It's just a third-tier school, not a very good one. An Zinan and Zhou Siyuan, on the other hand, are students from the best medical school in China, Anhe Medical University. Compared to them, Su Hongwen's school is nothing!

Now, to sign up for border support, Su Hongwen needs to call his former counselor, He Huan. He Huan has been Su Hongwen's counselor for four years, but because Su Hongwen is not the type to seek attention, he is usually very quiet and doesn't like to participate in various activities. He is a reserved person, and with his old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses, he is not very noticeable. Therefore, He Huan doesn't have a deep impression of him!

When Su Hongwen called and said his name, He Huan couldn't even remember that she had such a student in her class for four years. She had to check the class list to remember who Su Hongwen was!

Su Hongwen didn't waste time and directly said he wanted to go to support the border. No one is willing to go to such a place, so He Huan was surprised when Su Hongwen said he wanted to go. However, she quickly agreed and sent the border support application form to the email address Su Hongwen provided, telling him to fill it out and send it back to her!

After taking care of these things, Su Hongwen quickly washed up and went out. Neither he nor Zhang Aobo had a computer, so they had to go to an internet cafe to fill out the form. Su Hongwen didn't have much money, so he found a nearby, cheaper internet cafe, went in, and opened a computer. He opened his email and the form sent by He Huan!

Since few people want to go to support the border, the school's border support program has fewer and fewer spots each year. The good spots are already taken, leaving only the places no one wants to go. When Su Hongwen saw the location, he couldn't help but laugh bitterly!
